Moving Forward on the Lodge Room Project

We are finally starting to work on our “lodge room” again. For those of you not familiar with our project, let me fill you in. Two years ago, we had a major hail storm in Indiana. Our house received major hail damage and we had to replace the siding on the house. We decided that it was a good time to add a room onto our house where our deck stood. We wanted the new room to fit with the old part of the house when we had the siding installed. For the past two years we have been working on this project. We have been using the unfinished room and have plans for a floor and ceiling as we save money to pay for the supplies we need.

This morning, my husband attempted to spray foam insulation under the crawl space of the new room. I am glad he only bought one can of the spray because it didn’t work very well. The spray didn’t build up like he hoped and so it was a futile effort. We will need to pay to have foam insulation installed. Darn.

As soon as we get the insulation part done, we get to move onto the next project; our dream fireplace. We have looked at stone fireplaces whenever we visit a log home or a hotel with a cabin atmosphere theme. We know what we want and are saving our money.

We have been researching what type of fireplace will best fit our needs. HotPrice.co.uk has given us the most information to decide on what we want. I am amazed at all the brands of fireplace manufacturers they stock. They have been featured on UK TV on home makeover programs such as 60 Minute Makeover and Better Homes. Their frequently asked question page has enabled us to narrow down the selection process to find a fireplace that fits our space. The information they offer has saved us from costly mistakes. Their website has given us knowledge about chimney safety and advice on which type of fireplace will best heat our room. From their expert design and technical advice, we have narrowed down our selection to two different types of fireplaces.

Fireplaces with gas fires are very realistic. They have a beautiful flame that offers the cozy feel we are wanting. There are different options available when choosing a gas fire type fireplace. From traditional insets to push button controls, there are many choices to make the fireplace fit into your style of room and give the effect for which you are looking.

We have considered the efficiency of a fireplace that features electric fires. I love the cast iron effects that fit right in with our lodge room theme. There are so many styles to consider. From traditional to very modern and contemporary, your new fireplace will add personality to your home.

HotPrice.co.uk has expertise in, not only the sales and installation end of the fireplace industry. They have the technical information we need. Being informed of all the possibilities available will afford us the best fireplace for our home. Their Jargon Buster page explains different terms used when discussing fireplaces. Hotprice.co.uk is the place to go when you want great information. They also have the best prices and have a price match guarantee. I can hardly wait to order our fireplace.
